Because I don't have a clue.

Here's the criteria:

  • surname is one syllable (spp?) so need something a bit longer to go is possible 3 syllables
  • DD1 is Abbie DD2 is Talia so ideally don't want A or T names
  • don't want something really common so top 10 is out want something a bit unusual but not wacky and is still pretty and girly

Oh and I'm very fussy and DP and I can't agree on anything.

ismellofbabysick - thats spooky as Bethany is the only name DP and I have come up with so far. We decided to go without the h in Tahlia as it was bad enough for the relatives to have an unusual name nevermind confuse them even further (although my Dad still cannot pronouce her name).

I have hunted through this thread for references to Macbeth in vain

Well yes, I take the point about those being boy's names. Yes. Quite right.

has sweetkitty said she likes any of them yet?

dizzydixies · 05/03/2008 19:06

nailpolish - through fear of insult and it's not meant as one as Natalie is on our list

op's dd2 is Talia which has a very similar ending to Natalie - IYSWIM?
